Feature: Ancient Presence
Because of your reincarnation you hold within yourself more knowledge and wisdom than most. When most glance upon you, they sense the ancient presence within you, and are more willing to listen to you no matter their dispositions. Some may even find your presence or how you carry yourself familiar to one they once knew. Because of your supernatural disposition, your name and soul cannot be tampered with or removed by any kind of effect, magical or not.
